Anyone listened to the latest #TWIML with Ben Goertzel (SingularityNET)? This kids, is why you stay away from all the #drugz. The 1/2 is a pretty interesting discussion of symbolic vs connectionist models & how we maybe get to models of cognition…and it then goes off the f’n rails with a wild 30 mins on how #AGI leads to a world of #UniversalBasicIncome, #DiamondAge-esque #MatterCompilers, and #AI #utopia because …he's never met actual humans & what we do to each other?🤯
